Hi when we plugged in my play bar makes a noise 

When sonos arc is hooked up to tv, will the tv remote volume work the sonos arc volume at the same time? 

Each night (at least that has been the case since I added a new Beam Gen 2 to my systems) my surrounds start flashing green. It’s usually after midnight for some reason.The flashing keeps me awake so I go into the S2 app and notice the surround audio setting has been disabled. I enable it and the flashing stops. LED changes to the normal white. The same is happening for another 5.1 system I have upstairs. The sub and surround audio settings are disabled and need to be manually enabled each day.Any thoughts as to what might be causing the setting to change each night? 

I have an amp, arc, sub gen 1, two Era 100’s as surround back. Great ease for watching TV. However, I have a turntable and want to listen to it through the surrounds. In asking support once how to enable me to listen to the turntable, then switch to tv or music, was told by support that it would require a completely different set up and any time I want to switch between TV and music to go to turntable listening. Were they correct, that it required a new setup in Sonos 2 app each time. This sounded totally ridiculous and short sighted on Sonos’s part, but who am I to question. I assumed the fellow was wrong on the support line, so hung up and waited till I have a little time to try again. Called in again, and now, after reading and getting support on the phone to find a solution AGAIN, they told me the same thing. Can this be right??? Can I set up a ROOM for TV / Music and a ROOM for Turntable, they said NO. I feel like sending all the Sonos equipment back. this seems ridiculous….is it

Hi there! I was about to buy two Sonos Roam SL to use as my main mac stereo speakers, but I discovered that they only work via wifi, not bluetooth. Can someone tell me if they can still be used in stereo via wifi (or Airplay 2) and reproduce every sound of the computer (videocalls, browsing, youtube, website sounds, etc) or just the audio apps like spotify or netflix?  

I have a customer who has a sub that only produces audio when she streams music. It produces nothing when she turns her TV on to watch a show or movie. The sub is connected to a beam. I walked her through factory reseting to to bring it back into her system fresh but the sub will not reset. Instead of going to a green light for pairing after the reset it continues to blink white. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Hey guys! I have Symfonisk lamp gen.2 and had no problems with it up until now. It started yesterday, speaker suddenly stopped streaming spotify. I thought it might be something with servers on sonos side or something else not giving it much of thought. However issue didn’t go away today. So basically up until now I tried (several times):hard reboot reconnecting speaker to the app again deleting sonos app, and installing it back again  turning router off and on again  trouble shooting in the app itself, like “let’s fix it” thing  and probably something else which I don’t rememberAnd reaction to all those manipulations seems to be completely random. Sometimes I get successful result, like everything seems to be back to normal. But after a while, couple of minutes, speaker looses connection to wifi, also can’t be seen in the app. Sometimes no success at all. Flash light flashes white, sometimes white and orange, sometimes it is solid white but nothing is happening. I checked forum, it se

Hi I want to connect a Platine vinyle Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB with sonos beam 2 In this configuration, it is preferable to use a sonos amp or a sonos port.I don't see the difference between the twothanks

Picked up Move from there store yesterday. Downloaded Sonos app and a) created and Sonos account and b) updated speakers software via app.  Them tried to register/add my Move my account bur it failed multiple times. What happens:registering starts ok and speaker plays the pin-code tune then app instructs to push the button behind the speaker app says, that adding/registering product to my account but then it always fails What should I try in order to get registration done?

After adding arc to room of my choice it shows up  in another room tried this twicety for help

Just wondering.   I have a Comcast modem/router.  And a Google mesh.  And a Sonos Boost connected to the Google nest router.What's better for connectivity performance? Comcast as the wifi network with the boost and using Sonosnet? Or using the Google mesh with the Boost and sonosnet?  

As the title said, can I set up two 3’rd party speakers and a Sonos Sub using the Ethernet connection, but not activating SonosNet?

I have a large greatroom with the TV on a wall which faces a family room area (with couch about 17 feet away from wall) then a kitchen area. So opposite wall is over 30 feet away from TV. I’m trying to retire speaker stands for rear surrounds. The room is about 20 feet wide where the couch sits. Will installing the surrounds (ERA 300 or SL1 for an ARC, Sub) on the side walls at 90-110 degrees from seating area result in a supported soundfield? The docs just say to the rear or side but the marketing material seems to all show rear placement only.For stereo use I suspect they need to be facing the same plane so they can do their spatial wizardry correctly but as surrounds it appears they basically act as ‘dumb’ bipole-like speakers which seems like would work fine as I propose.

If I listen to music, the arc into era100s both play as they are set up insurround but with the TV era 100s don’t play

Hello can I ask has Sonos changed their parameters in the ways of storing filesI have a I have a Western Digital my iCloud at home with all my MP3s on and I drop in an XML file into the list to create and receive my playlists on the hard drive😭 🫣I've been changing my files out and re-doing them I've deleted my playlists and I have tried to reinstall the XML file and it is not allowing me to add my playlist🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯Now these are large files talking of 9000 odd songs 60 playlists how is the easiest way to sort this out please🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻This is how I've changed my XML file. Therefore it should be able to read it as all the music is there but not the playlists.Users/markburton/Music/Music/Media.localizedPublic/Shared Music Thank you very much, Mark

Hi I recently added a sub gen 3 to my arc speaker.My question is - do I need to retune the setup again ?What about moving the sub across the room from time to time… Do I need to retune every time I moved it ?

Video Explanation here:https://www.loom.com/share/0766f07c569e490c9e0a4a0ba4520840Have access to:x2 Sub gen 3X6 SL OnesX3 Fivesx1 Arc Should I have the subs connected and on the same wall? Or should I keep the sub 2 connected the Five in the medium room? Also, the sub connected to the arc in the large room isn’t really shaking or rattling the room at all. I honestly was expecting a very large boom for the price. Am I doing something wrong with the sub connected to the arc? 3. Is this the best set up for loud music that could shake the room if needed?

I have no problem casting music from the Spotify or Audible app on my cell phone to my Sonos Move. But the Sonos app itself is mostly greyed out and cannot find the speaker. On my laptop the speaker does not come up when I tried to cast from Spotify. I have a new computer and the recently installed Sonos app also can’t find find the speaker. On my old computer I also couldn’t cast from Spotify but I could cast from the Sonos app on my PC. Very frustrating.

I have done all the correct setup actions to link my new Era 300 to Amazon Music and the Amazon voice assistant. However though the voice assistant can give me a weather forecast it can't play any music from my Amazon Music library. 'I am having a problem' message. Nor can I use the Amazon Music app to connect to the Era 300 - it connects but doesn't play music.I have a Sonos Arc where all works fine on the same system.I noticed that in devices Alexa shows the Arc as Sonos controlled. But the Era 300 isn't Sonos controlled as if its an Amazon speaker like an Echo dot.Tried all the usual fixes like disabling / re-enabling the Sonos skill in Alexa, de-registering the device in the Amazon account but no success.Any ideas?

Hi Sonos community,Anyone having issues to install the Sonos official wall mount in a plasterboard wall?I drilled and installed a wall plug but the screws included with the kit won’t stop twisting… The Sonos Era 300 haven’t arrived yet but I tested with a similar weight and not feeling very confident as you can see the wall mount coming off a bit from the wall…Any ideas or suggestions?Thanks in advance.

We've recently changed our broadband to BT. The beam is working fine but no sounds from SL1 surrounds..they all say connected..I've tried factory resetting and rebooting the router. In the system info it says surrounds won't work with the WiFi? But when I take them off as surrounds and added just as speakers they work fine with the WiFi. Can anyone shed any light ?  Moderator edit: redacted serial numbers from picture
